Blog Rush - New traffic generation tool for bloggers

You might notice the new widget on the sidebar from Blogrush, a new service for bloggers aimed at increasing traffic.

The way it works is the widget shows other peoples blogs from the same category which may be of interest to visitors. Each time the widget is displayed it earns the site a credit, and credits are then used to display this blog on other travel blogs who use the same service. They have  a referral system that runs ten levels deep. So, in theory it could bring a lot of extra traffic. I’m going to trial it a while and see how it does.

If you’re interested in adding the system to your blog then take a look at the video for more details.

Cancun Hotels Map | My new website

Cancun Hotels Map is a new website I launched today.

The site utilises the mapping tools provided by Google maps which offers aerial satellite photographs that you can then annotate with your own markers. You can then scroll the map around and zoom in or out to examine the hotels layout, check the beach or even do a virtual dive into the pool. I’ve added markers for all the popular Cancun hotels and nightclubs and I’ll also be filling each marker with links to more pics, information, availability and information for all the Cancun hotels featured.

There is one disappointing limitation and that is you are restricted to a hundred markers, I’d really have liked to add much more detail to show Cancun shopping centers, ferry terminals, even ATM machines. Hopefully, Google will increase this maximum soon.

Anyway, have fun with the site and spread the word
